I'm not sure why she's getting bad reviews here. If you want a professor who holds your hand and you can't handle doing some work outside of class, then I suppose you should to stick to professors that don't care to challenge you to be a better communicator. If you want want to have learnt a lot by the end of semester, take her class. I loved it!COMM1210 2016-04-19 22:48:08 +0000 UTC
very boring professor dreading in class, she is so vague considering she was a comm proffessor so many readings and the class revolves around politics and debatesCOMM1210 2016-04-05 21:42:49 +0000 UTC
This is such a vast topic and Freya is a very vague professor. You will be confused and the readings are long. If you can avoid this class, do so. The amount of work is not worth it.COMM1210 2016-03-03 23:46:20 +0000 UTC
Persuasion & Rhetoric was so vague and abstract and made little sense. While I normally enjoy topics of this matter, a lot of what we discussed just felt like complete bull. There is a lot of work between essays, reading, debates, and none of it was worth it in my opinion since her unclear expectations made it hard ever to do well.COMM1210 2015-12-11 13:46:51 +0000 UTC
